Fox News reporter Peter Doocy got more than what he bargained for during a White House press conference on Wednesday after asking President Joe Biden about a report by the Wall Street Journal alleging that his administration was considering large payouts to immigrant families whose children were separated by the Trump administration. The president slammed the report as “garbage” and castigated Doocey for promoting it.
“Do you think that that might incentivize more people to come over illegally?” Doocy asked.
“If you guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah. But it’s not true,” Biden replied.
“So this is a garbage report?” Doocy asked.
“Yeah,” Biden replied. “That’s not going to happen.”
Biden’s fact check was picked up by MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace who said: “Maybe he should do this every day, take questions from Fox News and knock down the disinfo at the source.”
